EFFECTS OF UTILIZING FLIPPED CLASSROOM ON TERTIARY SCHOOL STUDENTS’ ACHIEVEMENT IN A PRACTICAL-BASED COURSE.

A flipped classroom is a teaching mode that swaps the arrangement of knowledge imparting and knowledge internalization compared to traditional classroom. In the flipped classroom, the roles of teachers and students have been changed and the class time would have a new plan. In the flipped classroom, the traditional lecture and homework elements are reversed or flipped. Students watch short instructional videos of the class that they want to attend at home before the class and then use in-class time for exercises, projects, or discussions. According to Zupon (2017), in the flipped classroom model, students are to listen or watch the primary lesson at home, and then when they get to school, the teacher is their guide in doing what is normally considered “homework”.

This approach or model has been endorsed by technologist and educators to give more active student experience. At the heart of the flipped classroom is moving the delivery of material or content of the class to be done before the formal class time, through the use of extensive notes, video recorded lectures and other appropriate means, and using formal class time for students to undertake collaborative and interactive activities relevant to that material or content. This will prove more effective in courses or subjects that are time consuming, over populated by students, and require lots of skill acquisition and activities. These types of courses or subjects exist at every level of education.
